| 英文摘要 | During its long history in China, Christianity has undergone a thorough-going process of inculturation, incorporating key aspects of the religious and social elements inherent in Chinese civilisation. This article analyses the perceived lack of willingness of China's Christians to defend their faith unto death - a characteristic which foreign Christian clerics repeatedly commented on with horror and condemnation. The apparent preference for apostasy over martyrdom contradicted the eternal and total claim of Christian faith over the convert and within the surrounding community. The tendency also stood in stark contrast to the willingness of Christians in early Tokugawa Japan, as well as other parts of Asia, to sacrifice themselves for their faith. What the Western missionaries failed to understand was that Chinese religious experience, in general, was characterised by flexibility and tolerance. State repression was comparatively mild, and the reaction of the Christian communities to any occasional persecutions was of evasion rather than confrontation. The sincere belief in Christian values and biblical tenets by the individual believer, moreover, usually outlived any public declarations of having deserted their faith. |
